If a program is executing, it may be interrupted by
typing ^C (interrupt in the UNIX environment).
This will invoke the corresponding interrupt handler
(see section 
).
By default, the system prints a menu offering some alternatives:
The a option returns to the toplevel, b starts a nested toplevel, c continues the interrupted execution, d switches the debugger to creep mode provided it is running, and e is an emergency exit of the whole ECLiPSe session.^C interruption: type a, b, c, e, or h for help : ? help a : abort b : break level c : continue e : exit h : help interruption: type a, b, c, e, or h for help : ?
The execution of ECLiPSe may be suspended by typing ^Z (suspend) or by calling pause/0. This will suspend the ECLiPSe process and return the UNIX prompt. Entering the BSD-UNIX C-shell command fg will return to ECLiPSe . Note that this feature may not be available on all systems.
